Action 52 commercial featuring the Cheetahmen. YouTube user zentanith doesn’t think this ever aired. I can’t believe it was ever produced!
I always thought of Action 52 as something that could only have happened through some industrial accident, but this commercial proves that no, Active Enterprises was really trying to sell this thing, and put enough money into marketing to produce some original (and shitty) animation. How the hell does that kid react to the threatening stance of the club-wielding cat monster with a high five? And why do they all have different accents if they all grew up together?
Active intended Cheetahmen to become a real franchise, with toys and even a cartoon. Think about that when you listen to those guys talk.

Despite being a ukulele version of game music, this peaceful cover of the theme to the unfinished Active Enterprises NES game sounds nothing like the high-energy Tanguy Ukulele Orchestra.

The people responsible for Cheetahmen II probably had no idea that the music from their awful game would become a long-lived source of inspiration for so many. If they had that kind of foresight, they would have known better than to make Cheetahmen II.

Composers Yasunori Mitsuda and Nobuyoshi Sano hawking Korg DS-10 Plus outside of a Sofmap store in Akihabara. Chris Kohler’s account of the event reminded me of our dear departed Akibablog, but well-written.
So what can you do with DS-10 Plus? You can rock the fuck out of the Cheetahmen theme, that’s what.
I’ll be in Tokyo for a couple of weeks starting tomorrow (well, actually I’ll be on an airplane for most of tomorrow). That means that the site will be solely in Eric’s capable hands for a while. It’ll be like normal TC, except with just the really good posts. I’ll try to post when I can, but between covering Tokyo Game Show for Joystiq and cramming as much sightseeing as possible into the time afterward, who knows when I’ll be around to link to Muramasa fanart and inconsequential discounts.

tags / korg ds-10 plus / cheetahmen / akihabara / aq interactive / jc“Smooth Criminal”/Cheetahmen II mashup. It might not be the most expertly executed mix (in fact, it’s pretty much just “Smooth Criminal” played at high speed over the Cheetahmen II theme), but it works well enough. Plus, the amazingly terrible Cheetahmen comic is made even more enjoyable by bonus Michaels.
